I'm not a fan of the wing, but the cowl hood looks awesome and I've always like the blue colour.

Sweeeeeeeeet, car looks great man, the wing wouldnt be my personal choice, but it does still look great, i've got one small suggestion, do the translucent red paint over the amber section of the tails and get some clear sidemarkers for the front, leave em clear or spray red, either way, get the amber off there.

Wow I love your car. I dunno bout the wing though, but it doesn't look bad on there. Got any more pics? I think that is a badass ride. Love the color and the hood. That's the same hood i'm going with. Does it seem to have any advantages/disadvantages with that hood?

Thanks folks!

I have considered lowering it, but it is already pretty low as it is. New wheels are a possibility, probably not until next spring though.

ChevyLuva3 -

Thanks, but I am all done with projects for now....

I knew some folks would not be too keen on the aero wing, but it really blends with the car to me. It is the same hight as the hood, and just seems to flow with the car alot better than the 91/92 Z28 wing I had.

The headlamp pockets actually will stay the way they are, the paint is a pearlescent, if you actually look right at the car they look pretty dark purple, almost blackish. I was originally going to paint them black, but really loved the effect that they had so I left them alone.

Sweet car man.

Just 2 things.....

1.) Window tint
2.) 88-92 RS/ Z-28 rims

....I like the wing with that color.

I have to disagree with that.. I think the iroc rims look a lot nicer. I would be getting the newer style iroc rims, but i would stick with iroc rims.
